Personally, I'm conflicted. lol

Please note that the shutdown will occur on March 18, 2014. We will keep everyone informed as we work through this process.

Duplicated link.

its real, saw it moments ago after login:

like it or not, we need to click on "Agree" to continue our journey.

it will be a better journey

from now on we better pickup all those things that we don't usually bother eg: TOS, gems, blue/yellow for salvage mats

im guessing they will add something like a ingame trade similar to POE, just an assumption.

I personally I will say NO NO NO!!!!

God damn it !! make me sick of this game...

it will be for the better, helps the longevity of the game.

kill mobs will be finally rewarding.

besides ppl can still sell at 3rd party sites

well. i bought enough tomes of secret to help me craft to hedge against lol

you mean we get to play diablo3 now and not auction house 3?

precisely

3rd party sites can still do the job

The game ruined by botters

ooooo...RoS launch on March 2014...hehe

that is the right way .....

...still need more ingredients to craft all of my toons' gears since none of the results are EPIC in proportions!

price will be inflated. atleast until march next year.

wow... got the e-mail from blizzard, but the news was so surprising that i thought it was spam BS, and had to check the main website.

wow.. finally, D3 instead of AH Tycoon! @_@

this should be Very Very Good

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO..... D3=AH... damn....

Is this mean our billion2 gold that collected all this time will be useless???

so the prices are now up up?

How come I get the feeling of very few trading?


This post has been edited by DarkNite: Sep 18 2013, 08:28 AM

people will want to get rid of their gold..gems price will skyrocket i think. items..not sure..but they will most probably become obsolete once xpac comes out next year.

looks like all of us same level now hehehehehehhe

what are the indicators that makes you say gems price will skyrocket?

will loot 2.0 promise better drops?

as for now, if there's no AH, many would not have chance t play higher MP due to garbage drops

it was the botters that ruined the economy of AH

server wipe then lol

this is just a few hours after announcement.

look it up yourself

http://www.diablohub.com/auction-house/

means i have to farm my own iridiscent tears???

anyway removal of ah means the game has neared its end state la.. blizz want to use their ah servers and reduce ah related support

i think more people are hustling to buy high end items for the time being.

I need AH for crafting mats, flawless square gems, ToS... and selling my crap loots..

Time for d2jsp.

stocking gems for future use..urgh..

THIS thread will be hot when it rolled out.

Micro Transaction perhaps ? LOL.

FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!

But hor, I want offline mode more than AH removal

Okla. dont be too greedy lol

TO be honest, its quite difficult to go through post by post.


Can we create another trade/sales section According to CLASS and stick to 1 post per person.

does this mean RoS will be release on that date too

kinda happy to see this, hopefully there will be BoP, BoE or may be BoA as well

what is ROS ..??

people will actually play this game instead of Auction House.

really?

Reapers Of Souls <== Diablo 3 expansion ^^ will be out next year(no dates announced)

People will actually play the game now, instead of staring at virtual ebay. Thats a good thing if they can balance the loot drop rate properly.

IF IF IF, Blizzard!!!!

hahahah xperasan la plak

People also can play AH and D3 at the same time

Lester1987

No AH simply means lots of black market AH transactions ... no?

more cons too

i dont wanna pick up 1631 ToS to craft a RS gem...

ps: i click "Decline", the game shut me out!

I feel u bro .. just bought 150k (400 gold/piece) ToS in EU before price raising and raise..

This post has been edited by Sabenarian: Sep 18 2013, 10:42 AM

OMGosh~ ToS is now 1200...

fugggg.

Its gonna keep increasing.

Later all material increase more crazy ,for me I need RD gem only

i bought 50k tos. hope it will be enough.

ermm...not much a big issue on the trading part actually (other than (maybe just maybe) will be more scam case)...players can still trade, those who wants to buy gears can still get them via 3rd party trading site or forums. Also for gems or crafting items/reagents, there will always be a trader selling those in bulk also (they buy cheap from players, collect and bulk re-sell them). Ingame Gold major function is now narrowed towards Crafting/Enchanting Gears...which tells us Crafting/Enchanting in RoS will be a huge activity, new level 70 BoA gears perhaps, what materials will they need ? from act 5 item salvage maybe...Enchanting and Transmorg already intro us two of the ingredient from act 5, Ghost Essence & Shadow Stone.



IMO...still a long way to RoS and loot 2.0, what we are seeing now is just the tip of the iceberg, skill nerfs, AH removal & more to come...so far they only release the "reducing/removing" part, the "addition/extra" part is yet to be told. We now know March 2014 is a dateline, but for what we dont know, could be after March 2014, PTR comes 1st...test few months for feed backs...then only RoS, or PTR in Dec 2013 and RoS intro in March 2014.

Too much speculations going on now, emotion runs high currently, anxious, anger, excitement, confusion....lets just hope Blizz do a good job & keep those finger crossed

if they really want to shutdown both AH to meet the objective of funs finding own loot in loot2.0/RoS, then they seriously need to think of:
1. disable the in-game trading menu to kill 3rd party and cheating.
2. enforce all the items are BoA so that hackers are unable to transfer victim's items to the other.
3. and lastly, crafting materials also can be bought from NPC just like health portion.

4. adding more stash to store new gg items !!

This post has been edited by dreaming: Sep 18 2013, 12:06 PM

i like these 2

Actually I think Auction House is a great idea, but terribly executed.

Now i'm just worry about crafting materials. ToS, gems, etc. (Although I do pick them up from time to time)

EDIT:
I like that idea of purchasing crafting material from NPC.
Also, they already mentioned there's bigger stash and extra character slots

This post has been edited by kwwk87: Sep 18 2013, 12:18 PM

What bullcrap did you just spew.
We are playing since day 1 every night/day.

more scam?

Good for you but from my experience with the game, i spend more time in virtual ebay than actually playing the game. No fun at all. AH is detrimental to the game as a whole. Less about looting, more on browsing AH for items.

RoS seemed to be a very good expansion so far. An offline mode or less internet dependent mode would make it a must buy.

this game not even live yet buddy, dont make too early judge. and for myself I enjoy gaming/farming and AH-ing

No AH?

bring it on!

/d2jspftw

You are supposed to play the game not the AH.
Of course it's no fun playing AH for your case.

It's a plan from Blizztard, to lure more ppl to buy RoS. Well played Blizztard, well played.

OMG, I lost all the gold that I bid and keep in AH. Items as well.

T_T

Anyway facing the same problem?

I spent most of my gold on gems now

I buy lots of gems too. hoho..shopping spree! malas nak kutip punya pasai.

bcoz, if if we collect too much gems/tome of secrets, the chances of key drop and legendary drops seems to be lower..in my opinion

Yeap, buys lots of gem too.
Still thinking whether to keep 500m gold in my stash or not.

donate some pls

sell it ... btw sold 6bezz of gold today... lucky day.. will try to sell more.. thanks AH, pls dont go..

This post has been edited by Sabenarian: Sep 18 2013, 01:14 PM

No more gold. Stock up ToS!!!!

Holy cow..tonnes of ToS, DE & BS!!!!!!!!

Is it still worthy buy gold to stock gems?

This post has been edited by and85rew: Sep 18 2013, 01:30 PM

i can only afford 10k tomes and some gems lol.

gold will be useless...just keep some for crafting cost

omg... spare some

I prefer keep gem ,gold can get anytime...

I gonna grap all material first ,u r over buy lol..... nice ..

This post has been edited by present me: Sep 18 2013, 01:38 PM

AH only shutdown in next 5-6 months but everyone took early "action" nice..nice

i dont do anything..

lantak la kot.. knowing blizzard, they are capable of pull all sort of last minute pranks..

who knows in RoS, mystic only required 1 new mats? not DE or ToS?

suka hati kau la blizz hahahaha

/bolayan

that y.. i still donno what will happen in next 6 months.. later all beli ToS after RoS we need new tomes to craft.. all ToS become useless

This post has been edited by amiranna: Sep 18 2013, 01:51 PM

tau takpe...

the thing is, how blizzard going to make money now?

monthly sub?
premium item shop? <-- wanna bet on this? (refer MMO f2p model of generating revenue)

Buy gems from Alex.

one things is now v all hunting DE bcos BOA ,but craft only LVL60 ,if go to lvl70 BOA I think is not about DE or TOS ,they need different material to craft lvl70 ,if early grap too much of TOS ....lol ..v doing a wrong plan later .now in my mind too much ???

haha... all gem from alex let u grap finish.... later alex tot u open gem shop lol..

This post has been edited by present me: Sep 18 2013, 02:04 PM

Didn't spend all on gems, just grabbed 15 pieces for Crusader™.
Grabbed some ToS. Grabbed a cold HOTA SoJ.
Still want to grab a kick ass INT TWH with AR before the AH shuts down.

look like golds only can be used to pay the repairing cost and items crafting, other than that it will be useless when AH is down.
alamak, seem like spending golds on crafting materials will be more safer..
i just finished sold all my spare gears after RoS announced.

This post has been edited by dreaming: Sep 18 2013, 02:35 PM

May need a lot of gold for crafting.
Need to keep some gold for that purpose.

Tat is gd idea go 50%50% more safer

Personally I feel stocking up tome of secrets Abit wasted. With lvl 70 there will prolly be tome of super secret... It was the case of the lower tier tome.. Same goes for the crafting stuff.

Gems on the other hand might be wiser. Since gems can combine small ones to get higher tier ones.

If there is higher level tome, it should be able to upgrade too.

nxt time can buy tos from npc at 1000 gold each then alot ppl will kantoi

10 ToS can convert to 1 ToSS... and ToSS is all over the place for you to take thanks to the loot2.0 in Act 5

Shining bright like a DIAMOND???

IF AH & RMAH are closed,

except for crafting, the gold will be used for? if so, stop looting gold?

if i loot 2 similar godly items but i can't use both, salvage one of them?

if there is ppl life improved via extra income from RMAH, food standard drop from steak to roti canai?

if new loot system but i still cant get godly item after 1,000 hours play, shud i press "delete"?

Time to create account at sites like D2JSP trading section.


Blizzard forum will be put to good use? LOL Less trolls, more trades



Well, loot 2.0 looks promising. Wait and see lor.

Repair, buy tos/gears/gems from npc, upgrade gears, craft gears etc.

For barbs, they might need gold to buy fury.

i lol'ed ok la.. still better than 0.25usd per fury

This post has been edited by amiranna: Sep 18 2013, 03:55 PM

HAHAHAHHAHA

Yes, only if it's dropped all over the place.

Based on current drop rate, ToS is not enough for us to craft all the radiant star gems for our toons (especially you play all 6 chars). Let alone the marquise & crafting.
